Diblathaim, also referred to as Almon-diblathaim or Beth-diblathaim, was a place mentioned in the Old Testament where the Israelites camped during their wilderness wanderings after leaving Egypt (Numbers 33:46-47). It was one of the last stops before they entered the Promised Land. The name "Diblathaim" means "two cakes of figs," possibly indicating the presence of fig trees in the area. Beth-diblathaim is mentioned in Jeremiah 48:22 as one of the cities in Moab that would face God's judgment. The exact location of Diblathaim is unknown, but it was likely situated in the plains of Moab, east of the Jordan River.
